Toe PnestoENT-said, from the. Chair, that besclid not bdievc Senor Garcia Herreros had any intention of speaking injuriously of the sacred person of the ping; if otherwise, he. would not have suf f ered it, not only as President, but as a Deputy, as a Soldier, and as one.of int !aloof the Spaniards. Senor *GARC I A t/UINTANA read a paper, in which he declaied that he. had - been long and intimately ac • quaintcd with the Marquis ; that lee had looked upon him as a very honourable and good Spaniard, oti which account he had voted (or him as Regent ; but yet he was of opinion that a Commission should be appointed to try him, and to punish him severe ly if disobedience or . denial of the sovereignty was proved. The Senors DUENAS., TRAVER, GUTIERREZ DE LA- HUERTA, VILLAFANE, and others, declared as their opinion, that it did not belong to the Cortes to try the Marquis, A Deputy added, that they ought not to be Members of the Council of Castile, for they did not happen to be persons with whom he was satisfied. The President touched the bell, and declared that he was not itt order. Another Deputy said, that as little should the Judges be of those who had taken the oaths to the Intruder. Senor MUNOZ TORRERO demanded that it should be declared, that the matt e r had been sulliciently disi•ussed ; that the Maiquis de Palacio had lost the confidence of the nation, and that therefore another, should be immediatelyaopointed- to replace him in the Regency. The subjt,..ct. was ,declared to be sufficiently discussed ; and it Was then voted almost unaninidusly,* that, another should be-chosen in his j room. The PRESIDENT acquainted the Congress, that in the name of the Marquis a paper. witbopt date or sighature hail been handed to hiM,, in which it was slated that be Was at present in an apartment, damp and: withont any seat,, to.the injury. of his health and begging_ that ) , upon his parole of honour, he might -be permitted,. to be in his own house with a sentinel over him. .A debate arose whether his petition - should be gr anted, and whether he should remain in the,. guard-house, or 'be .taken to some , more proper place. The CONDE . pETLTEN4VISTA and Senor, MEXIA observed, that regard being had to the •charaCter of the * Mai;quis, and to the righewhich parole of. honour had with military men, it appeared. conformable to the generosity of his Majesty .te.perniit.hiru ,to go to his own hcuse under his,parole. . Senor CANEJ.t opposed this, saying that the pa role of honour was pot Sufficient, when ; it Was•so important to secure the persop i and prevent com munication. He added, by, the bye, that be had heard with disquiet, the whole night, time words Senor Marquis so often repeated.. Before his 1114- jesty, no one should be called Senor, and still less a pet son accused. , , The question *eat was to be dope with the Mar quis, wai at last put to the vote; and it. was de cided that be should remain in his own house upon his parole of honour, and under a,geard. • :With regard to the chief point, it was determined, that the Coirirei tee of Justice should be called upon to pro pose what it might judge, proper. An order was then given at half past two in the morning- for strangers to withdraw, and - the secret ` sitting..con tinued till three in the morning. . SITTING OF ,OCTOBER 29, ‘. The Session being opened at eleven' in the morn.; ing, a letter. was read which conveyed a recognition of the Cortes, and tie faking of the oaths; by the Bishop of Badajoz, the CabildO, and other bodies of that city. A plan was read, the objeal of 'which Was to fit out patriotic privateers for scouring the coast of the enemy. it was transmitted. to the ComMit tee of Titmice, as -was also a memorial friim the Mar quis del Palacio,' in which -he endeavoUred to clear . himself and vindicate his chara6ter. • The Junta of Catalonia begged 'that 'the 'epee speedy means might be taken to adjust the appoli4a mem of SuppleMentary Deputies for that - Principa lity, ;being desirous that it should not be destittite of that voice and representation which it ought have Lin the Cortes. This request was tranamitteal to the Committee of Powers, it - being at eirs i one time, resolved, that Orders should be givenlo the ti Council of Regency, to hasten the speedy 4xrhF44 . of some Deputies who were still wanting for the Mediterranean provinces. This being finished,' the 12th and 13th articles of the plan for the liberty of the press, with 'regard to the'penalties on printers, underwent a• rigorous ex amination. They were at last approved of with tome slight modifications. It.was one o'clock when the public sitting was closed, and it then continued secret till twos, at which hour the . public were admitted. 'The Mar quis of .Castelar then preaented himielf, and the de cree Was read by which the Cortes eleeeled him, On the preceding night, Regent. ad interim, till 'the arrival of his Excellency Senor Blake. : He made the acknowledgment, took the oath "in the pre scribed form, was put in possessio'n of his office, went forth accompanied by two Deputies and a Secretary to the Flail of the Council of Regency and the sitting was closed. We had advices_ yesterday from various•parts of Spain. Those Irotn. Cadiz are to the 5111 instant, and fiom Corunna one day earlier. The following is an,.estra4 from the former; but there is reason to suppose that the account contained in it of the Ha* among the French troops is exaggerated "CADYL, Nov. am happy to inforM You; that the dkase similar to the yellow fever, which hitss - brcken out in this city, has greatly subsided, al though now from Id to 20 persons die daily.

" WAR. DZI'ARTMRNT, NOV. 11, JBlO. `" A Dispatch has been this morning received from Lieutenant-General' Sir JOHN STHwArtT,! dated Messina, 22d Sept. ism, reporting, that at day on the morning of the 18th Sept. the great bddy of the enemy's flotilla appeared to be pre-. paring an atte - npt at landing between Messina and the Faro. While their movements engaged the attention of the .main body of the British force, a debarkation was .effeaed by a detachment., under General CAVIGNAC, near St. Stef,ino, about seven miles to the Southward. This corps consitt ed, of about 3500 men, Corsican and Neapolitan troops, -who-had crossed the SGeights in about 40 l arge boats, and gained the Sicilian shore before the dawn. " Upon the first alarm, Major-General CAMP.- pELL had repaired to the menaced quarter, where he found the German Riflemen engaged with the enemy, and the 21s1 litgiment, and part of the 3d Germans, occupying the post of Mili, to pre vent the advance of the French upon Messina, as well as the mounlain. passes above it. As day broke, lie perceived the enemy already on the heights, and extending from thence to the beach ; but shortly after they began to waver, and .those nearest the boats to commence a precipitate em barkation, in .consequence of a sudden and Vigo-. rout attack made upon their flank, by, the 2d•.Bat talion of Light Infantry, under Lieutenant-colonel Ftscnca. " Major-General CAMPBELL observing this move ment of irresolution, pushed forward wiih the 2 Ist Regiment, and 3d Germans, , alone the beach, and thus succeeded in cutting off all the enemy's troops who•had - gained the heights, besides some whom the boats abandoned. " We have taken about goo prisoners, including a Colonel, and, two Officers of the General Staff, together with tkecolours of the Corsican Legion. I;3esides these, the enemy lost many in killed and wounded, particularly in the boats pulling off' from the shores. " Of the British only three private soldiers ,were wounded. " General CAMPBELL speaks in high terms of the conduct of Lieut.••Colohels ADAM and FISCHER, and of Captain A'Coußr. He also reports the zeal and enthusiasm shewn by the peasantry of 'the neighbouring villages, who came down with the greatest alacrity . to the assistance of our troops." This official account fully justifies the observations we made when we read MURAT'S account of thi s " brilliant achievement," as he calls it, viz, that IA e were convinced that the greater part, if not the, wholu of those who landed, had been either killed or made prisoners. MuttaT, in hit statement, says, that when he 'Made the signal for the troops that had landed in Sicily to re-embark, they obeyed it with Stiott uncommon alacrity, that only a few were left behind. Now it turns out that no less than 900 were taken prisoners. The [lumber of killed and wounded, we should suppose, must have been very great, because, as it was a dead calin, the boats must have been some time before they got out of the range of our artillery. • A GizzeUe gztraordinary will be published this af. ternoon, with Sir Jon STEWAAVS Dispatches. The Gaze& will also , contain the _whole .of the Dispatches froin Lord WELLINGroN. We stated some days ago, that a letter from BER. THIERTO,MASSeN A had been intercepted, in which the latter was prdered, in the most peremptory Manner, to attack the English, and drive them out of Portugal. We are this day enabled to lay that l etter before our readers, and we can' undertake; to pledge ourselves for ,its authenticity. It appears from this Letter that, as early, as - the oth of Sep tember BUONAPARTE was dissatisfied with the.slow. progress that MASSENA was making, for BERTHIER'S Letter is .by no means - couched in civil terms, or such as one Prince might to use to another. He. blames MASSeNA for not attacking the English bold ly,and 'tells him that he has more cavalry and artil lery in - his army than is necemry. - But if &JONA PARTE Was impatient on the - 16 - th of Sepie4ber, what must he .be now, when the two armies have ' been above o month close to each other withont . iVIAssENA's having - dared to make'an aitack I. It is obvious that BIYON'APARTS did not consider the Por tuguese ttoops a Worthy of notice; they are not even mentioned in BRRTHIRR'S Letter; their beha viour, however, at Busaco;and on many subsequent occasions, must have convinced both MASSEN4 and his Master that they a:e not only be counted as • soldiers, but - to be dreaded as formidable cipponents. The Tallot sloop of war has arrived at the Cove pf Cork froth Lisbon; whence she sailed on Wed. nesday the 7th instant ; to which 'Hate rici, battle had taken plate. Both armies were near each other in dreadful suspense. The Auclaciout, of 74 guns, and a number of our gun-boats, had gone up the Tagus, and were cannonading the left of the French ling.-- Several of the Officers dined on board the Talbot, and spoke with , a degree of confidence as to the re. result of the battle, whenever it may happen.
